What happens

ITV News Meridian is a British television news service broadcast and produced by ITV Meridian. The news service is produced and broadcast from ITV Meridian's studios in Whiteley, near Fareham with reporters also based at bureaux in Didcot, Brighton and Maidstone. The service transmits to a coverage area across three sub-regions in the South and South East of England. South: serving central and eastern Dorset, the Isle of Wight, the majority of West Sussex, the Brighton & Hove coastal conurbation of East Sussex, southern Hampshire and southern Wiltshire and parts of Surrey. South East: serving East Sussex, Kent, southern Essex and parts of West Sussex and Surrey. Thames Valley: serving Berkshire, Oxfordshire, western and central Buckinghamshire, northern Hampshire, northern Wiltshire and parts of Surrey, Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire. Freesat and Sky viewers in Brighton can receive either Meridian South or Meridian South East region on channel 103 as default via the depending postcode. This means that the city's news, sport and weather is covered by both sub-regional programmes. Its main competitors are BBC South's main evening programme BBC South Today in the South and Thames Valley regions; and BBC South East's main evening programme BBC South East Today in the South East region. The programme is currently EDF Programme of the Year for London and the South East (for coverage of the 70th anniversary of D-Day) and the Royal Television Society's Southern Centre Programme of the Year (for coverage of the Eastbourne Pier fire) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
